Thoughts and Precepts

Table of Contents

Do not spend your time in thinking of illness you might have, for if you have no real ones you will create artificial ones.

***

When you make conscious autosuggestions, do it naturally, simply, with conviction, and above all without any effort. If unconscious and bad autosuggestions are so often realized, it is because they are made without effort.

***

Be sure that you will obtain what you want, and you will obtain it, so long as it is within reason.

***

To become master of oneself it is enough to think that one is becoming so. Your hands tremble, your steps falter, tell yourself that all that is going to cease, and little by little it will disappear. It is not in me but in yourself that you must have confidence, for it is in yourself alone that dwells the force which can cure you. My part simply consists in teaching you to make use of that force.

It is then the imagination and not the will which is the most important faculty of man; and thus it is a serious mistake to advise people to train their wills, it is the training of their imaginations which they ought to set about.

***

Things are not for us what they are, but what they seem; this explains the contradictory evidence of persons speaking in all good faith.

***

By believing oneself to be the master of one's thoughts one becomes so.

Everyone of our thoughts, good or bad, becomes concrete, materializes, and becomes in short a reality.

We are what we make ourselves and not what circumstances make us.

Whoever starts off in life with the idea: "I shall succeed", always does succeed because he does what is necessary to bring about this result. If only one opportunity presents itself to him, and if this opportunity has, as it were, only one hair on its head, he seizes it by that one hair. Further, he often brings about unconsciously or not, propitious circumstances.

He who on the contrary always doubts himself, never succeeds in doing anything. He might find himself in the
